💪 Background Notes
- Grew up in Michigan doing gymnastics and competitive cheerleading; started gym training at 15, and at 17 was coached by her mother’s training partner, a female competitive bodybuilder. She originally wanted to be a fashion model but was “not tall enough.”
- At age 13 she first saw 8× Ms. Olympia Lenda Murray at the same Powerhouse Gym where her mom trained — Murray is the competitor she’s most often compared against. Shaw competes roughly 35 lb heavier than Murray did in her prime.
- After two figure shows in 2008 (3rd and 4th), she took 8 years off to study exercise science, then returned in 2016 in the physique division before switching to Women’s Bodybuilding in 2019.
- Trains daily, higher-volume style with emphasis on maximum angles and strict form; diet is protein-rich (~30–50 g protein per meal).
- Physique stats such as “18-inch biceps” and “250-lb bench” come from her own reported profile numbers rather than independently measured official records.
